| Summary | "De tal palo, tal astilla" by José María de Pereda is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens in a stormy mountainous landscape, setting the stage for a drama that intertwines elements of nature, societal norms, and personal narratives. The narrative introduces two characters, a traveler on horseback and his guide, Macabeo, who navigate through dangers while showcasing their contrasting personalities and perspectives on life, faith, and responsibility. At the start of the novel, readers are thrust into a tumultuous night as the protagonist, "Pateta" (Doctor Peñarrubia), seeks shelter amidst a raging storm. As the storm rages, he is accompanied by Macabeo, a steadfast yet superstitious character. Their dialogue reveals insights into their relationship and foreshadows underlying themes of fear, bravery, and existential contemplations tied to nature's unpredictability. The opening establishes a vivid and dynamic setting while hinting at deeper societal and personal conflicts that will unfold as the story progresses, particularly revolving around themes of fate, identity, and the legacies passed down through generations.
